of articles to choose from.

Have you

If you have, you will
want to get him fitted
out for school. We
make a specialty of
Boys' and Children's
Clothing, and can give
you a little better qual

It is a mistake to think
that any sort of a suit will
do for a schoolboy; because
it has to stand rough usage
is a good reason for extra
care in the selection. It
should be of good material
and well made, or it will very
soon wear out.

These condition were the name for both

When Lord liunraven made up his mrod.

MR. WARFIELO OBJECTED
Smith People Wanted Him to
Bear Half the Expense.
GABBAGEMEH CONFER AGAIN
Tilings Are Sunplng Out and It Is
Tliousbt Construction Will Begin
Soon Drown Crematory rlrst Site
Will lie at the Foot of South Capi
tol Street.
Another chapter was added to garbage
history to-day, the Smith crematory agents
having a conference with the Comnils
slol.vrsat which Health Officer Woodward
and Contractor Warfield were present.
The meeting was for Uie purpose of ar
riving at an urdenoandlng upon certain
points prior to signing the contract, and
as these points are not yet determined
another conference wBl be held to-morrow,
when, it is understood, a choice of
crematory will be made.
It was a. well-authenticated rumor at
the District Building to day-that the Smith
representatives presented a proposiUon on
Saturday asking that thegarbage contractor
shall bear one-half the expense of con
struction, in case the crematory shall have
to be removed.
This was not acceptable to Mr. Warfield,
and the matter was a EUbJect ot discussion
this morulug, with the result that the
Smith contract will lie a duplicate of that
signed by the competing companies.
TneBrulth Crematory Coinpeuy was repre
sented by Mess rs. Borguer. Smith and Byers.
None of them desired to discuss the situ
ation, but said they would cheerfully fur-ni-h
all desired information as soon as the
matter eould be decided.
KEAlir FOB CONSTRUCTION.
It Is bel loved that work wUl be commenced
upou the construction ot a plant within a
ery few days. It seems to be further
settled that the first to be built will be a
Drown crematory, and that the kite to be
occupied by that system will be at the
foot of South Capitol street.
From all the circumstances, so far devel
op!, nothing seems to be positively as
sured, except that the moneyed men upon
whom will rest the burden of fulfilling the
contract, will not consent to the adoption
of any crematory that Is not backed by a
sufficient guarantee of Its raccess. Th"
Brown and the Dixon have signed the.
requisite bonds, respectively, and the
Smith has consented to do so.
It will require at least ninety days to
construct a Brown furnace. It is beliered
no oilier can be erected in less time than
that, and hence the desire of the Commis
sioners and the garbage contractor to
hasten the matter to the point where
actual work will be commenced.
Washington H1 rare a dally nveraeo
ot sixty tons for garbage consumption in
the winter month, and In summer the
amount is Increased to probably 120 tons.
POUTNEIl FLATS LICENSE.
The Whvlan application for license for
a barroom at the Former Flats is liltI?
to figure in court, is the event that the
excise board deckles agaisst the protest
ants. The case will be finally considered fcr
the board to-morrow, to which time it
was adjourned at the meeting of to-day, at
the request of Attorney Donaldson, and
because, also, of the absence of Attorney
Thomas' opinion, which had not yet been
forwarded from the Commissioners.
Mr. Donaldson said to-day that be can
not see bow the excise txiard can grant
the license under the circumstances, which
he will lie able to demonstrate, but in
case the application is approred he pro
poses, on behalf of the protcstants, who
are bona Ilde r-sidcnU, to push the case
to the farthest limit, even if he has to re
sort to the courts.
Attorney Shoemaker, who represents
the Anti-saloon League, also intimated
that the cose would be beard of later In
the event that the board granted the
license. He is sUU of the opinion that
the amended law will shut out the Fort
ner. The hearing to be given to morrow is
likely to be full of points, and the discus
sion will be interesting.
TUET ABE HOUSEHOLDERS.
Among other things that -will be shown
hi that six nouseho'ders, whose affidavita
are with the board, allege that they are in
possession of the flats as Individual renters,
and that they have as jutno notice from
the agents to surrender possaia. Tl y
demand to be beard .
It will also be alleged that the building
Is not cutiUed to be classed as a. hotel, and
the board -will be asked to refer the matter
again to the attorney of the District for his
oplnlou upon Ibis point.

EDMUNDS ACT CONVICTIONS

Special Criminal Calendar to lie Con
sidered In Order to Sottlo Cimes
of Great Iniortance.
When the court of appeals meets the
first of next month It will take up a
special criminal calendar as Is customary
at the beginuixg of the autumn term.
It Is quite probable that tne first case
that will be heard it that of Capt. Henry
W. Howgate, who was sentenced to the
Albany penitenUary for eight years on
July 2 last, on the charge of embezzle
nien t.
When a motion for a new trial was mado
nd refused and a bill of exceptions filed
In the court of appeals Cant. Ilowgalc was
permitted to give a special bond of $1C,
000. This provided, however, that beshould
surrender himself on September 30.
Capt. Howgate is now understood to be
In New Tork, and bis counsel. Judge Jere
Wilson and Col. Worlbington, are out of
the city. I twos understood, though, between
Mr. Birncy and counsel for Howgate, the
former said, that the heariug should take
place the first week In September, and It is
now the prosecuting- attorney's design to
bring it about.
A sUll more Important rase, said Mr.
Blrney.as far as public Interest is measured.
Is that of Louis A.Duuan, under sent. nee
since July 8 toa year and a day at Albany,
for Uie iolatlon of the Utah net.
After comictlon and sentence, Dunan,
who Is a grocer on Fourteenth street, not
ed an appeal and Mr. Bfrney nuggested that
his ball be fixed at the low sum of $2S0.
..There were a number of oUier convictions
for the same offense, whereiii all the
parties, excepting Dunan, were colored.
Only a part of these were able to furnish
ball, reasonable as it was.
The importance ot an immediate de
cision In the matter Is therefore readily
seen, and Mr. Birncy will bring the cases
immediately to the alleiitlun of the court
of appeals when Howgate's case is dis
posed of.

TheemployesoftheMetropoIilanCompany
were especially well represented, and
neatly every member ot the Ninth street
force was present. m
It was a special session, called to con
sider tbe grievances of a number ot the
Ninth street men. who claim that they
have been subjected to the worst sort
or treatment frum President Phillips, llr.
Phillips has from the first been thoroughly
antagonistic to tbe Street Hallway Union,
and Its purpose, and has tried In every
possible way to break up the organization.
SHIFTING THE HEX ABOUT.
Bis latest move lias been to transfer men
from tbe Ninth street line, and vice versa.
trying by tab means to get the members of
the union at war with one another, and In
tbls way consummate his pet scheme of
disintegration. -
Another thing which the men bitterly
complain of Is the employment by Mr.
Phillips ot a man named Elliott, wbo,
while be enjoys the title of a supervisor
ot tbe lice. Is, they claim, nothing more
than aspotter," and has used every means
In bis power h make trouble between tbe
president and the men, taking advantage
of every opportunity to report them for
the most trit ial offenses.
This has been going on fur some time past,
and tbe men baveruade repeated demands
for his removal- Mr. Phillips has promised
to retire tho man, but, ULe the otLer prom
ises he has made, has failed to keep it.
Elliott has always, it seems, been in bad
odor with tbe members ot the union. Be
rras employed In the same capacity be now
enjoys under Mr. Plerson'a regime, but
but became so obnoxious that that official
found it necessary toreU.-gatehlm.tn a car.
FOR 8H0RTER H0DR8.
Another dtmand that win Iri inadc upon
President Phillips at the cour-Kence to
morrow is that the men shall only work ten
hours Instead ot twelve and finiwa as they
do nt present, and that t vo sets of men
shall Ik- employed on the roa.l.
One Instance ot this treatment is tlat
men on "swing" runs are Riven from 1
o'clock to 5 in the morulcg rr..,t and
then again Trom 2 30 to 4 p.:n. ? bis, li.ty
say, is enough to kill anythiig hut an lion
man, and the men believe it is Air. T h Hips'
inteutlon to break the men ili.vn ro tl at
the union win be rorced to pay them sick
benerits and In this way io Cfptote the
treasury.
At all events it vus the unanimous ex
pression of tbe meeting last night that
Mr. Phillips' methods are thoroughly
autocratic and unreasonable, and the men
Vrre made up their minds fo take at more
promises, but to makedemonds. and if tbey
are not respected to let him suffer the con
sequences FOB AX OFF1CLVL FLAG.
Arrangement of theJfew Stars Finally
Agreed Upon.
On July 41896. tbe Territory or Utah
will become a State and add. -the forty
fifth star to the union of the American
flag. As tbere have been quite a number
or new States entered within the post
few years, and as Congress has passed
no law since 1818 regarding the position
of tbe additional stars, the anion on the
present nags Las little uniformity.
Since that time the War and Navy De
partments have designed their own flags,
each arranging the stars according to its
own ideas. Quite recently, however, these
two Departments have reached an under
standing in regard to this matter. and have
decided on an official flag
The union or the new rlag consists of
three rows of eight stars each and three
rows of seven stars, which rows will. In
the near future, be compjeted by the addi
tion or one star each, representing New
Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma, respect
ively, which Territories will be the next
to enter the union.

3g with renewed vigor.
The decline brought out considerable
long stock, and a number of (top loss orders
were executed, adding to tbe depression.
Heavy gold exports were predicted for
Tuesday's and Saturday's steamers, which
accelerated tbe downward movement.
A rumor was also current that a block
of St. Paul was hanging over the market,
and that it might be forced out late in tbe
day.
Officials of a corporation kno.rn to be
speculating; in the stock denied that thelr
concern intended to part with any of Its
stock, but admitted that their clients had
sold out at higher figures.
At 11 o'clock: the market was steady
In tone- The selling movement at the
stock exchange was renewed after 11
o'clock and Manhattan was forced down
to 107 1-4, a decline of 3 3-t per cent,
as compared with Saturday's closing.
Other weak stocks were Canada Southern,
Big Four, Lead, Beading. Wabash pre
ferred and Wheeling A Lake Erie.
Up to midday no engagements ot gold
were reported and no deposits of gold, to
replenish the. reserve had been made at
the subtreasury- The stories about a
bond issue were- revived, but nothing au
thentic is known. At 12 o'clock the
market was weak.
